* To write quality pages about just intonation topics that do not have articles yet

* To write quality pages about just intonation topics that do not have articles yet.

* To write quality pages about major figures in the world of just intonation and their theories and works (e.g. [[Harry Partch]], [[Erv Wilson]])

* To write quality pages about major figures in the world of just intonation and their theories and works (e.g. [[Harry Partch]], [[Erv Wilson]]).

* To expand pages about just intonation (especially stub pages and [[:Category:Pages with Scala files|Scala file pages]]) by adding more description of the subject matter

* [[Lériendil]] for bringing to my attention the relative under-exploration of [[xenharmonic]] just intonation theory (compared to xenharmonic temperament theory) on the wiki as of 2025

== Open tasks ==

=== Broad/general tasks ===

* Create a high-quality, encyclopedic article for every important JI scale, JI instrument or other JI concept, rather than just stubs or unexplained tables or lists of numbers.

* Add audio examples (of JI chords, scale studies, and of course actual tracks) to as many articles as possible, to demonstrate the musical properties of JI scales and chords.

=== Tasks underway by members ===

* [[Budjarn Lambeth]]: ~~To recruit more~~ members

(There is no exact time frame for these tasks as this work is being done by volunteers in their free time.)

* [[Budjarn Lambeth]]

''(Other users besides me are welcome to help with these too!)''

** Recruit more members (especially an expert on [[Harry Partch]], an expert on [[Erv Wilson]], or an expert on [[primodality]]).

** Examine the names of all Scala file pages and rename those with confusing or ambiguous names.

** Find all examples of multiple similar Scala file pages (eg "exampletone10", "exampletone15", "exampletone_major") and merge them into scale galleries.

** Record improvisations using JI scales that have no music examples, and post those as examples on the relevant scale pages.

** Add handmade tables of intervals to pages about JI scales that have a fixed [[tonic]] (are not rotatable).

** Add all new hexany, dekany, bihexany, etc. pages to the '[[Gallery of combination product sets]]'.

** Keep 'Gallery of combination product sets' as readable and navigable as possible as it gets longer (e.g. by adding subheadings).

* [[User:Yourmusic Productions|Yourmusic Productions]]

''(Other users besides me are welcome to help with these too!)''

** Create short but quality pages for every hexany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.

*** Create short but quality pages for several bihexanies based upon these.

** Create short but quality pages for every dekany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.

** Create short but quality pages for every pentadekany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.

** Create short but quality pages for every eikosany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.

** Create tables that allow sorting hexanies, dekanies, etc. in multiple ways (odd limit, prime limit, lowest divisor, sum total, any others we think of).

=== Tasks not yet claimed by members ===

* Greatly expand the page on [[Harry Partch's 43-tone scale]].

=== Requested pages ===

=== Requested audio & images ===

* At least 1 scale circle image or any other visual aid for every page about a just intonation scale.

* At least 1 scale circle image or any other visual aid for every JI scale gallery page.

* At least 1 musical example for every page about a just intonation scale. (Any length is okay, whether 5 seconds, 5 hours, or anywhere in between.)

=== Cleanup requests ===

Line 48:

Line 65:

=== Proposals for future direction ===

* When [[Zhea Erose]] completes the treatise on [[primodality]], document the theory described therein (in your own words; do not plagiarise)

* When [[Zhea Erose]] completes the treatise on [[primodality]], document the theory described therein (in your own words; do not plagiarise; reference specific pages so readers can learn more).
